I have never been an athletic person, nor a particularly healthy person. When becoming healthier became a goal of Daniel's I realized that I very much wanted to join him on that journey. I have some specific obstacles to overcome to realize those goals, but I am loving the results so far, and am excited to see how far I can get with dedication and perseverance. This blog will help me record the Journey so that I can look back to see how far I've come.

The last round of the OHS cycle, which I'm afraid I only made like 5 workouts of (out of 13):

OHS 15RM

95#

Pretty happy with this, though - 95# has long been troublesome for me to OHS, and to knock out 15 in a row (on the first try!) felt pretty damn good. Then...

45 Thruster 95/6545 Pull-Ups

12:40(ish) RX

Failed to write down the proper time. Focused much more on form than on pushing, and as a reward my back wasn't TOO unhappy with me afterwards, and I was only ~25% slower than my best Fran time. Did the thrusters 10-10-10-5-5-5, and the pull-ups 10-10-10-8-7. For at least one of the thruster sets, I felt like I was actually achieving some level of efficiency with them.

When I turned 30, I took stock of myself and was not very impressed with what I had become physically. I resolved to lose weight and get fit, and spent the next year and a half doing just that. In that journey I've discovered Crossfit and Rockclimbing, and am now passionate about them both. This is a log of my progress.
